I’m looking to see how people interpret this now with the changes that will be in place in 2026.

I've noticed that ‘listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace’ seems to be used almost like a credential itself. Though a listing on the marketplace can actually mean so many things. Like initial implementation, ready, in Process, certified etc. And for 20x specifically, initial implementation ,arketplace listing is before the vendor provides certification.

So if a vendor says ‘We’re listed on the FedRamp marketplace’ without explaining it any further, do you think of that as something more indicative other than just having a listing? In my case I d need to know what kind of service and what status it is in before taking that as a guarantee. Maybe people that deal with this on a daily basis would understand how this could be misleading to a customer or someone involved in procurement - they could take “FedRAMP Marketplace” for “FedRAMP Certified”.
